Google Cameras - Thieves use Google to find lead on church roof
11 Answers
I am sure the subject of Google and its invasive techniques, photographing all our houses, businesses and 'institutions', has probably come up here before.
I think that the following article in the DT today should elicit some comment. I am no great supporter of the church, and especially the moribund CofE, even though I do appreciate the efforts of a smaller number of their bishes, one or two that I have got to know over my life......they do have some good folk but there are a large number out of touch.
My own local church has been the subject of lead raids and I know that businesses with air-conditioning units are being targeted for their copper (especially in the States). And Google is complicit with this.
Agree/Disagree - Should someone have the b-lls to sue Google over enabling theft?

Just because Google has suddenly done the "StreetView" thing in their town, do they go "Oh look theres a church...lets go pinch the lead" - They'll have known theres a church there before the mapping - so they'll have stolen the lead with or without Google

The article suggests - does it make it easier for them?.......I also think that this may apply for potential terrorist check-out (or subversive military assessments)......
Let me give you one personal fear - Google cam rolls down the street and "Little moi" the terrorist prospect....ah, I see the gas point (pubs often have meter readings on the front in a box), and "bingo" a few weeks later.
Should Google Earth when it comes down to "Street Level" operations be closed down?
